Proto-Slavic
    
    Etymology
    
Superceded the earlier i-stem *strьmь + *-ъ (still attested as an indeclinable form in OCS). Attested with o-vocalism in Polish stromy and Belarusian стро́мы (strómy).
Besides the adjective, Russian also has an abstract noun стрём (strjom, “fear, anxiety”), ultimately of the same origin.
